ok, then the record the Orioles set is an expansion-era (162-game season) one. Even though those Mets only played 160 and the pennant- and tiebreaker-winning Giants 165

Wade

4:03

So is Garcia eligible for postseason?

Craig Edwards

4:03

I believe he is as he was in the org on September 1

Nelson

4:04

Do players get paid more for playing this extra game?

Craig Edwards

4:04

I don't know, but there is a pretty big financial incentive to win as the playoff shares will be higher.

4:05

One out away.

Another Matt

As a first year law student, I’ve really come to enjoy Sheryl Ring’s articles. I’ve got to stop procrastinating now. Enjoy watching the games and thanks for this fantastic site!

Craig Edwards

4:05

She does good work.

That Guy from Detroit

4:05

Get out before it's too late, Matt!

Jay Jaffe

4:05

she is incredibly prolific

BJOGC

Reminder that the rockies shouldn't even be here. They passed on Daniel murphy, mccutchen, matt adams, granderson and mark Reynolds

Craig Edwards

4:06

but they developed marquez, gray, and freeland.

Meg Rowley

4:06

Which, I still don't think we're talking enough about Rockies pitching.

Craig Edwards

4:07

this is fun.

Brian

4:08

Listening to Bob Uecker is a delight.

Craig Edwards

4:08

He's great.

baseball is fun!

Meg Rowley

4:08

You know what? I agree.

I saw that CC's suspension starts in 2019. Do suspensions always ignore the postseason? It's a small suspension, but interesting that it'll be picked up by whoever signs him, and might not hurt the Yankees ever

Craig Edwards

4:08

Yes, it is normal. I can't really see Sabathia not on the Yankees. Would kind of make me sad.

Rox Fan

4:09

Best overall rotation the Rockies have ever had. THEY should have traded for Yelich, and we wouldn't even be playing today if they had.

Craig Edwards

4:09

or played Dahl and McMahon all season.

Meg Rowley

4:09

Dodgers-Rockies is starting on ESPN2 until the Cubs-Brewers game ends

Jay Jaffe

4:09

The Rockies' long-term failure to build a productive outfield is remarkable. I'm gonna write about Dahl this week.

Craig Edwards

4:09

Oh man.

Morbo

4:10

That was an excellent at bat by Baez

CamdenWarehouse

4:11

how does ticketing for these games work? just available at the stadium?

Craig Edwards

4:11

i believe they sold them last week when it became a possibility.

HappyFunBall

4:12

Ladies and gentlemen, your top-seed Milwaukee Brewers. Just like we all expected!

Meg Rowley

4:12

ohhhh man, baseball rocks so hard

Craig Edwards

4:12

Good times. Good times.

Jay Jaffe

4:12

and there it is... Brewers win the division and the number one seed, Cubs will host the Wild Card game. Bullpens really decided this one, and we're going to hear about these two for as long as they're around in October.

Craig Edwards

4:13

More Wrigley baseball tomorrow.

Meg Rowley

4:13

Congrats to everyone but especially to August imo

Matt

4:13

So, if the Cubs win tomorrow, this is a rematch for the NLDS, right?

Craig Edwards

4:13

Yes, congrats to August.

LPFan

4:14

Where can I check 2018 predictions? I want to see how many of FG folks missed the mark on NL East and NL Central division.

AKA22

4:14

Cubs released tickets last night at 7:30 PM, not last week.

Jay Jaffe

4:14

yes, we could have a rematch. That would be bizarre and fun.

Tyler

4:14

I kind of want the rockies to win now and have a Dodgers Cubs WC game
